Pyroccs

FOR

I – INTRO

PyroCCS is a biochar project developer for the Global South.

Its mission is to implement one of the fastest-to-scale carbon dioxide removal strategies.

In 2024, 10 PyroCCS systems will be commissioned in Namibia and India, resulting in a CDR potential of 20,000 tons of net sequestered CO2.

By 2028, over 500 PyroCCS systems will be commissioned worldwide, leading to a CDR potential of 1 million tons of net sequestered CO2.

PyroCCS’ proprietary technology is designed for decentralized use in rural areas. It’s robust, affordable and easy to use. Yet it meets the stringent requirements of LCA-based standards for generating high-quality carbon credits.

II – SDGs

A total of 10 out of 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are supported.

PyroCCS’s Biochar strategy not only permanently removes carbon from the carbon cycle and can make degraded soils fertile, but offers a host of other benefits. 

III – POTENTIAL

Imagine the CO2 that could be removed worldwide

Promoting pyrogenic carbon capture and storage (PyCCS) as a global strategy opens up enormous potential for permanent carbon sinks.

IV – MISSION

Ideas become reality

After a conversation in 2019 about the incredible benefits of consistently using PyCCS, Carlos and Timo decided to combine their skills and develop a biochar strategy that is both environmentally sound and economically lucrative.
